Meetings

A very misty morning, and some health issues, prevented a number of regulars reaching us, and yet – a great time of praise, worship, fellowship, and sensing the presence of God. Thank you to Bob, for leading worship, including many Christmas carols. Thank you to Malcolm for a most inspiring testimony, leading into communion. Wendy read Zechariah’s prophecy from Luke. …

Last week we had a guest speaker. This week we had a guest vocalist.  Two Christmas songs from John, who came to us for the first time on Sunday, inspired praise at a new level. There was a lot of testimony, and Wendy led us in breaking bread. Prayer was offered for a number of members experiencing very serious challenges …

It was a joy to have Jonathan Squirrell with us on Sunday morning. His visit was booked around 3 months ago, and Paige would have been with us too, if health had permitted.  With Covid and colds afflicting a number of our regular people, it was great to have a dozen people gather. Thank you, as ever, to Bob, for …

There are times when one just needs a good long sleep – and it was the worship leader’s turn today, and so I found myself unexpectedly strumming! How good to gather with the Lord’s people, and to praise and worship the One Who makes such a difference in our lives. Thank you to all who led us in prayer, read …

Belatedly, as we had to dash away after Sunday’s meeting – it was a blessed time as always. Bob led worship. Most people shared scripture, a word, or a testimony. Shirlene gave a short word, powerful as usual. Malcolm and Moira led breaking of bread. Some deep needs were shared, and prayed into. What a difficult world this is for …

“I never wanted to miss church, in case I missed God doing something,” a Christian told me once. I thought back to that after our meeting Sunday morning. The presence of God amongst us was almost tangible, with uninhibited praise and worship, testimony, teaching, words of knowledge and prayer for healing. We observed 2 minutes of silence at 11am, and …

It’s always good to have new faces here, and it was good to welcome Caroline from Spixworth this morning, brought by Frank. What a great morning, with so many contributions, and so many scriptures. Great praise and worship, with Shirlene taking over on tambourine. Meaningful contributions from Billy and Wendy, and earnest prayer for them, for Cliff’s wife Sue, and …

And then there was darkness – around 12 midday, when a power-cut of 6 hours started. And it was such a dull day. However, it was so good to see people who have been sick, now better and joining us on Sunday. Praise and worship led by Bob, Ecclesiastes 3 from Wendy L, communion led by Cliff, and prayer for …

10 extra people! 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, 5 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. From the point of view of space, and ventilation, it could be argued that we were blessed to have at least 9 regulars away sick! Thank you to Bob for leading praise and worship, and Wendy for leading communion, assisted by Caleb and Jonathan. Thank you to Barry …

Numbers, of themselves, are not important. However, they are often an indicator, and I feel it is a sign of the grace of God upon LIBERTY that – Around 2 years ago, there were often 6 of us meeting This Sunday, at least 10 people were away because of health issues This Sunday, we still had a roomful of people It was …
